Duchess Royale runs two management office lines: 6223 0169 and 6848 5637. Either reaches the office at 32 Duchess Avenue, Singapore 269105, which is in the development itself.
Who to ask for
The estate's managing agent is Smart Property Management (Singapore), appointed to 122 developments listed here. Staff at the office act on the instructions of the management council — the owners elected at the annual general meeting to run MCST 4008 on everyone's behalf. If an answer needs a decision rather than an action, that is usually why: the council meets, the office carries it out.
What the corporation is responsible for
Common property, and the money that maintains it. The corporation collects contributions to two funds, one for day-to-day running and one set aside for large periodic works such as repainting or lift replacement, and it insures the building as a whole. It also enforces the by-laws, which cover the things that affect neighbours rather than the owner alone — noise, renovation hours, pets, use of the shared facilities, and what may be kept on a balcony or in a corridor.
The address
Duchess Avenue is in District 10, the Tanglin, Holland and Bukit Timah district. The corporation is registered as UEN T13MC0101A; quote it on anything that will be filed or invoiced. For visitors, public carparks nearby are listed with live availability, and any enquiry that is not urgent can be sent to the office in writing.
